Many of my classmates were eager to get back to their everyday lives. I was not one of them. To be clear, I did miss many things:
But, I was not eager to get back to my real life. Perhaps part of it, was that there would be no one to greet me at the door when I arrived home. No partner. No child. No pet. Maybe the other part is that my everyday life is too busy, too dense, too cramped - and it was so very nice to have some much needed space. Literally and metaphorically.
No, I was not eager to get back to my everyday life. Yet here I am, choosing to trust life and being willing to be surprised by what happens next...
- I missed talking to my Mother everyday.
- I missed being connected to what's happening in the world. (Let's hear it for the United States Supreme Court!)
- I missed calling and sharing with my dear friends all the exciting things that were happening in the wilderness.
- I missed sleeping in my own bed.
